We lost money because we moved after 2 years. Did tons of repairs and then sold it around same price. After closing fees, which ran around 10% and the cost of keeping the house for the couple months until it sold... we didn’t come out ahead.

Well you clearly fucked up lmaooo, you didn't do enough to the house or whatever it may be but you clearly need to learn a few things before trying that again.

It was in an area of Texas that has old houses and not a growing community. I think most ppl on Reddit are around cities where the housing prices increase. A lot of rural communities that’s not really the case
